The new hotels in town are Siam@Siam which is across from MBK, and The Pullman which is by Victory Monumant.

I ate at Siam@Siam last night. It is a really cool modern place, and the food was great and not expensive. My friend has a contract to supply The Pullman with glassware, so we'll check it out soon.

Any GTG's? My number is: 089-698-1997.

Be sure to report on Maeng's new Little Kitchen!

Hey, Brad. Cheryl and I are hoping to get together with you in Bangkok, but the dates your mother gave for when you would be there sounded like we'll miss each other. We'll be in Bangkok Nov. 4, 5, 6 and fly to Sri Lanka on Nov 7. Any overlap?

Kathie,

Have a terrific trip.
Thanks for all the "informative" ideas, thoughts, etc. that you've provided me in the past. Bon Voyage and enjoy those majestic purple sky sunsets from the Towers Lounge ;-)

Thanks for the good wishes, I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time. We'll toast the sunset for you!

brad, count me in.

Kathie, wow - your trip is coming up real soon. I hope you can post from Bangkok and Sri Lanka but if not, I look forward to a very detailed trip report when you get back to Seattle. Have a wonderful time!!!

Thanks, Craig for your good wishes. I know I'll be able to post from Bangkok. We're wondering about our internet access in Sri Lanka.

Brad (or anyone):

Have you had a chance to check out the Pullman Hotel yet? I've got reservations there in December for a deluxe room and was wondering if it was worth it to upgrade to an executive room. Just wondering if you had more information.

Thanks!

The Pullman is essentially a Novotel. It's brand new and right on top of the King Power duty free mall. As it's only been open a couple months, all the rooms are probably still quite nice.

The Siam is more than a year old.

The really new hotel in town is the Millennium on Asoke, due to open next month. There's also a Park Plaza just down the street from there. The Centara at Central World looks like it will be a while.

Thanks for the info! With the opening rates and being new, it is currently a great deal.

Also two new serviced apts on Sukumvit opening. Adelphi Suites on Soi 8 is now open and Legacy Suites on Soi 29 will open in December. Both in the mid-range price class.

The Millenium is already open.

Yes, the Millenium has soft-opened. Formal opening is next month.

Pre-opening rate for Deluxe room is 4,199 Baht. Rack rate is 6,499.
